They amount to the same thing, depending on how its done and who gets it. If any law enforcement who tries hard (FBI, MI5, China) to fight what they want to fight gets hold of Apple's tool then that encryption is not so much outlawed a

It appears that the firmwire of the Secure Enclave can be updated with the Apple private key. It isn't iOS, but for the purposes of this, it might as well be.

Apple goes to the effort of designing the software to be secure to the point of inaccessible, even when Apple is asked to work against the user, so it's a selling point. If the FBI is known to be able to get into a secure phone it comm

As has been said many times over, this is setting a precedent where the FBI can ask Apple to do this again, with the software already created. The "only function with that phone" is a negligible hinderance to using this on another

I got the impression that that isn't the case, but as they want to improve in ways that would be unhelpful to LEOs, what you described will be the setup soon.

The firmware for the Safe Enclave can be updated, but only with the Apple private key. Which is as secure as it's possible to get in a consumer product that gets improved upon after sale.

Google owns blogpost. Google has several blogs there. Surely it'd be a vote of confidence for him to use it?

Once they made it, locked for that device, the FBI knows Apple can make it again, locked for another device. The tool is for any user's data, via a court order on Apple.

It could be, but why would the FBI want that?

They could charge a million for this one time, but after that it's just the edit of that if statement. It's not justified to charge a million each time.

Some people already complain that the iPhone is too expensive, especially compared to non-equal Android phones. Not enough people complain about any company not fighting for their user's security. Talk is all we need so far. Publicly s

It's not a backdoor to the phone only being unlocked by the passphrase, but a backdoor to the number of attempts limitation.
